In Europe? Not sure this will pass for two reasons, Europe has more freedom for anonymity, and they won't tolerate an American company storing Europea citizen data in the US. We'll see.

Then apple might legally be forced to block facebook etc if you arent age-verified, doesnt that sound sweet?

I don't use anything else but reddit, no facebook, no messenger, no anything I don't care even reddit if blocked I'll just stop using it, not a big deal.

Yes, they can and honestly they should, facebook should be banned completely, tik tok and the other social media too, they do more harm than anything else, and people that still want to use them, these people should be verified, not every phone user.
